Some days, I wish I knew how to write something meaningful. Then I realize I have. #writing

Read while you can. Write what you must. #writing #reading #books

Another good writing day. This story and the characters have taken over. Things are coming to a head. It’s not what I planned, but that’s not the point of writing a good story. #writing #cod3

Great writing day. Some days you get into a zone and you end up with hippos instead of elephants when you write. Everyone knows you want hippos. #writing

Well, that’s cool. One of the servers told me that someone stole a book they bought from me and now they want another one. I guess my books are worth stealing. Please don’t. Support authors. We don’t make a lot of money on books. #writing #reading #author

C3 shutting down for another year. Another great conference. Saw a lot of old friends, made some new ones, and sold some books. Also, bought some. #writing #mdc3con

Well that’s a first. Someone told me I have a calming affect on the conference. #mdc3con #writing

Good morning. Up early to get some writing done before the conference kicks in for the day. Time for the ceremonial coffee. #mdc3con #writing

Phew! First day done. Fun and, as an introvert, stressful. More of the same tomorrow. The AI panel for writers was somewhat contentious but we had some important discussions. Short story panel was fun. #mdc3con #writing

The Vase He: “I didn’t want to upset you.” She: “Hand me that vase.” He, in horror: “What are you doing?” She: “We have to drain the blood.” #writing #flashfiction

Well, I got talke into doing a class on flash fiction next year. #writing #mdc3con #flashfiction

Do hotels still have “house detectives”? Doubt it. #hotel #writing

I’m back in Columbia MD for C3 #writing #conf

One word, seven commas. #writing

I’ll be at Creatures, Crimes, and Creativity this weekend, hosting two panels and one one. I always like this conference. I get to see people and talk to them, although it’s still stressful. Columbia MD is the place to be this weekend. I’ll be signing and auctioning stuff. #writing #author #mdc3con

Today has been a good writing day. The plot has gone off the rails of the original ugliness. This is better. I still have a lot to write in this draft. #writing
